Adjust LayoutWhen a designer creates an InDesign document with a specific page size, at times it needs to be changed due to client or printer feedback or due to self-assessment. Once the page size changes, all the elements in the layout have to be adjusted to fit the new size, resulting in resize and realignment of all the frames (text frame, image frames etc.). Similarly, all the content (images, text etc.) in the document has to be resized to fit the readjusted frames. To address this problem, Adobe introduced Adjust Layout feature. This feature automatically adjusts the elements in the layout when the page size or page margin or bleed of the document is changed.

Content-Aware FitWith Content-Aware Fit, we’ve made it easier to fit images into your frames. When you insert an image, InDesign uses artificial intelligence to detect the best parts of the picture, then scales and repositions it so only the best part is displayed.

Add footnotes in TableThere are a lot of scenarios where you might want to insert footnotes in tables, such asreferencing to a text in a table via footnote.

Convert footnotes and endnotesYou can now convert footnotes to endnotes and endnotes to footnotes in your document

Visual font browsingThe Fonts panel now includes various new options to provide you an enriched experience while working with fonts.

Preview Font on hoverWith this feature you will be able to preview the font on selected text just by hovering over the font name in fonts drop down.

Support for OpenType SVG FontsWith this build, InDesign now support the OpenType SVG Fonts. You can now preview thecontent in SVG fonts within InDesign and can export the same.

Space between paragraphs of same styleIn certain scenarios, you may want to maintain different spacing between the text above thelist, between the list, and after the list. Currently, you have to create and apply three differentparagraph styles to achieve this. With this build, you now have the ability to choose whether the spacing before/after affects the text of the same style or not.
